That would be extremely welcome. I've tried to use it a few times in the
past (and have tried to use various other POD to HTML modules), and I've
never found one that doesn't do something really odd.
Incidentally, I *do* very much appreciate you going to all this work; I
don't mean to sound completely negative. The rewrite of the POD
specification has needed doing for a long time.
